Show HN: Rustable is an open source database client built in Rust

JaTochNietDan

I built (vibe coded with direction) a free, open source alternative to TablePlus. The goal is high performance and easy to use just like TablePlus but without that nagging window asking you to pay to have more than 2 active tabs. It also runs in the browser for a fun demo since it can be compiled to WASM. Feedback is super welcome and I'm continuing to iterate upon it and am already using it as my daily driver and ironing out the kinks. It works well enough™ already but expect a few janky things here and there.

> Yes, we support your silly OS as well. Windows and Linux users, you’re welcome. yeah, the operating systems that underpin >90% of compute on the compute on the planet are silly and barely worth supporting. this kind of “hey claude, write prose exactly as lame as usual but also make it snarky and rude in tone” writing is just fantastically bad.

This is the kind of project where the death of “native” as a term is sad. You’re not truly native if you’re using egui, you’re just a step above Electron & co. TablePlus is actually native and it shows. If you’re vibe coding this shit, why can’t you just tell it to output platform specific things?

Rust for-the-fuck-of-it rewrites have become the new Javascript because-we-can rewrites. "It’s Rust, compiled to WASM, running in your browser. Not a JavaScript rewrite. Just because we can. It’s Rust, dude. Try it." Making the justification for this project's existence especially meta on so many levels.
